Democracy for America was a federal political committee registered in Vermont. Its FEC record runs from a first filing on 5 November 2001 to a last filing on 16 April 2025, with democracyforamerica.com as its registered website.
Registration history
The FEC record shows the committee predates the Democracy for America name. It first registered for the 2002 cycle as Fund for a Healthy America, based in Washington, DC. From the 2004 cycle it filed as Democracy for America from Burlington, Vermont, and it remained a qualified PAC through the 2022 cycle. For the 2024 and 2026 cycles it is listed as a hybrid PAC with a non-contribution account, filing from Essex, Vermont.
Wind-down
The committee’s receipts by cycle document its decline directly:

Cash on hand fell from 367.71 at the end of 2024 and to zero by the 14 April 2025 coverage date. The committee’s last filing is dated 16 April 2025.
Relevance to digital political discourse
The FEC record shows the shape of the organization’s end: not a formal dissolution, but declining receipts across four consecutive cycles until the committee stopped raising money altogether while remaining registered. The committee’s earlier identity as Fund for a Healthy America is visible only in the filing history, not in any later self-description.
